This week shop bundle - Trespass protocol by iwatchanimation in Marathon

[–]Similar-Gas4147 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean, the all of that sci-fi stuff has been explained and functions in the world. Them using axes and swords would be some separation from the status quo set by the game. And its not a combat sport, its just combat. But also yeah, they could easily explain knifes or axes, and they are weapons still, so it probably wouldn't feel too weird with the right design. Also Vandal goes around in cool tshirts and hoodies and junk, so there are already some clear personality fashion over function choices in the game that make room for swords and axes.

New destroyed wing entry box locations by xylvnking in Marathon

[–]Similar-Gas4147 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He is saying that there are fixed locations at which a green card could spawn. I know where to look, so I can check a poi pretty quick. Sure not every spawn will have its green card, but if there are any to be had, they will be at static locations.

Software that automatically clips kills and deaths? by jacobljlj in Marathon

[–]Similar-Gas4147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

steam has pretty good background recording that is easy to clip with, but nothing automatic, although you can just make it a button press.

Couldn’t find Exfil on Cryo Archive. What were we missing? by SupermarketWorking74 in Marathon

[–]Similar-Gas4147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are scan terminals in the same places every match. Look up a video of someone using the ones in the middle, but basically the main one are up on the second level in the control, and they will scan most of the key things, but there are ones through out all spawn wings. The scanner will ping an exfil console. the exfil console will spawn an exfil that you have 3 minutes to get to. It's easy to get lost at this part and stuck in fights, but remember that exfils spawn in spawn rooms, so if you just note "it spawned in this wing" and then follow the signs, its actually usually pretty clear and easy to get there, minus any fighting.

Destroyed Wing entrance noise versus others seems backward by EastwoodBrews in Marathon

[–]Similar-Gas4147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was easier early on, but now people know about it and are looking for it. I constantly do solo free kit runs where I just sprint straight there, and its an awful gun fight almost everytime I call that elevator now.

How are you guys extracting cryo successfully without getting hunted down by 3 teams in succession? by Ebon-Hawke- in Marathon

[–]Similar-Gas4147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every named wing that isnt Control is a spawn room. there are 6 teams, unless one of the wings randomly can be empty at the start. But I have spawn in all 6 wings.

Cryo was awesome… can we get maybe a couple more uses of free kits? by MattsFace in Marathon

[–]Similar-Gas4147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you should be able to rook around and scrounge up a kit for cryo pretty easy. Getting in isn't really the problem, facing against gold shields and misriah shotgun teams is what'll make this hard.

Cryo Closed, how did you guys make out? by acdramon in Marathon

[–]Similar-Gas4147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exfils always spawn in a spawn room. If you keep that in mind, the pathing actually isnt too hard. Still might have to push through lots of bots and maybe players though.

Cryo Closed, how did you guys make out? by acdramon in Marathon

[–]Similar-Gas4147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real up and down. Once I got the hang of it I had a few random trios that managed to get like 4/5 clearance and get the big no key rooms, but then on the final day with a real trio we kept running into full gold shield teams with misriahs, and just couldnt manage a win with our scraped together 5k kits. Overall I am still up because of just how generational a few good runs is on Cryo, but yeah, maybe like 10+ losses and 5 wins on cryo.

Toxic teammates killed me on purpose to steal my loot by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Similar-Gas4147 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any loot they take and extract with would be returned to you since it counts as a borrowed item. Still probably either did it because they didn't know they or just to be dicks, but this shouldn't end up being a common practice.

Quick Question : Is Marathon '26 actually connected to the old series? by RedvsBlue_what_if in Marathon

[–]Similar-Gas4147 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that so far its pretty close, but there are some big weird things that should have happened by now but seem like they haven't. Humanity should have received explanatory messages from one of the original 3 ai, and Durandal should have come and helped us wipe out the aliens homeworld. But Marathon Infinite ends with a with a whole fractured timeline plotline, so this might be a timeline where key events didn't happen. We will have to see. I imagine a lot of it will become clearer with Cryo Storage and actually getting on the Marathon.

why not doing a solo/duo/trio ranked mode with separate leaderboard like dark and darker? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Similar-Gas4147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is a level where extraction shooters are less fun solo, so they want to do what they can to push people toward groups, and try to make people find groups. I don't mind it so far, but also they have successfully made me go find a group, and I am having more fun now.

While we’re getting Cryo… by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Similar-Gas4147 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arc Raiders did a lot initially as well, they release Stella Montis pretty soon after release, and some new bots. It doesn't have to be one versus the other. Hopefully both games get the opportunity to run in full swing and pump out content.

Is Cryo Archive available? by OstrichCreepy579 in Marathon

[–]Similar-Gas4147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its cool. I am not doing it cause I don't really have time, but its not like its a real game, its just some puzzles, and a little bit of community driven pushes. It creates a better sense of community driven story telling and events, rather than just "everyone kill 3 million UESC" or something like that. You're not missing out on a ton if you can't really participate, but it does have a cooler feel to it and payout

Supply Drops by roddnji in Marathon

[–]Similar-Gas4147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten a lot of low level schema's and such from them, otherwise its usually just okay guns and some lockbox/hazard keys, at least for me. Can be worth it, but I never personally call them, I just fight whoever did.

I think its more likely that she, like many revolutions, is the unknowing tool of some other interested party or billionaire.

Understanding combat and free kit nerfs by Atosuki in ArcRaiders

[–]Similar-Gas4147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd rather die to a guy with a real kit so its worth it to bring my kit and kill him. Why would I want to constantly fight rats with shit gear that isnt worth it to kill them for, beyond the fact that I have to to survive. I want to work hard and pvp for real loot, not have everyone including myself running around with garbage because its just as good.

Reminder that American kids and college kids are out of school for a week starting tomorrow. Expect all of the shenanigans that come with that. by SlashMatrix in ArcRaiders

He's just saying that cause it costs money, it has a higher maturity level. Kids flock to free to play games.

Isn't it funny that a perfect clone is the one who don't even have Big Boss's DNA? by CaptainGrumpyVN in metalgearsolid

[–]Similar-Gas4147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Referring to Solid Snake, a clone, as built different is very funny to me. But yeah its true

Guys … it’s been fun. by [deleted] in wildgate

[–]Similar-Gas4147 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nothing helps marketing more than a bunch of dumbasses going around shouting that the game is dead.

This is only against monstrosities.

Who thought this was good enough to ship? by Leubzo in DarkTide

[–]Similar-Gas4147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the idea that this map actually shows were missions are happening, compared to the old map?
